I´m in Copan Ruinas, Honduras, taking a break from all the hard work of concrete construction. We have hauled concrete blocks, both 6" and 8", laid block, with mortar mixed by hand, and then stuffed the cracks between. The sand for the mortar is sieved by throwing it on to a screen. Just when I think it´s all manual labour, I see the cement mixer for the big loads of concrete for filling block holes around the rebar, and for the foundation.
I´ll definitely be in shape for paddling this summer!
It´s all a bit of a blur--connecting with some old friends and meeting new ones. All in support of the local community organizing NGO that encourages their neighbors to farm with better practices, and facilitates better education for young and old.
It´s definitely a different world, and a bit surreal now that I sit in front of a computer, connecting with home just a little.
